alexandrahorner's review against another edition
2.0
Enjoyed the first half of this book a lot more than the second half, some analysis feels a little bit outdated but I think in reading an almost 20-year-old analysis of culture that's to be expected. In searching for thorough examinations of everyday life and how this is fashioned by media, this book is interesting but lacks a unified framework (which is almost ironically adherent to the discussion of a postmodern fragmented self). However, I think much of this book felt like fragments of other theorists woven together to create a messy tapestry of pre-existing ideas rather than something revelatory. I guess I will simply have to continue my search elsewhere for an adequate analysis of the everyday.
